Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?
Reins (kidney) is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "renēs" (originally plural), the gender assignment in French is better explained by the fact that Latin masculine nouns (despite "renēs" being formally plural) influenced the development of French masculine forms. The masculine gender here reflects a common pattern where Latin words with certain phonetic endings or morphological characteristics became established as masculine in French, though the specific mechanism of gender assignment from Latin plurals to French singulars is complex and this word represents one of several similar cases rather than following a simple, predictable rule.
